Elderly and Disabled, a Jewish Woman Went to a Vodafone Store for Help

And she got more than she expected, being subjected by an employee to an outburst of antisemitic invective, leaving her in tears. More about this dismal story, one of thousands of similar antisemitic incidents that have become so widespread after the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, can be found here.

A disabled elderly Jewish woman was allegedly subjected to a tirade of antisemitic abuse and filmed without her consent inside the Vodafone Elsternwick store in Melbourne earlier this week.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, recounted the incident to Dr. Dvir Abramovich, Chair of the Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC).

She reported entering the Vodafone store at approximately 3:35 p.m. on Tuesday, June 23, seeking help with a pocket WIFI device.
